Gordon Castelnero’s documentary—Kelly and Company
Mark your calendar Detroiters for Wednesday, September 10th at 8:00 pm on Detroit’s Public Broadcasting System, Channel 56. Mr. Castelnero’s documentary will be shown as a pledge special with a repeat at 11:00 pm.
Gordon Castelnero loves Detroit, and his documentary on John Kelly and Marilyn Turner certainly expresses just how deeply committed he is to preserving the history of this wonderful city of ours. He is also an author of the book entitled TV Land—Detroit.
The Kelly and Company documentary recapture’s some of Detroit’s early 70s TV history that also features other Detroit TV personalities of that time period. So click on Detroit and give some support to our hometown talent.
